    Default Think I am going through Menopause

    Do men go through menopause? My health professional (the vet) thinks I might be, this year I have noticed that I am not really interested in that activity that the moderators don't like mentioned, I would rather read a book or go out into the shed and sharpen something.

    Also this year I am not feeling the cold like I have other years I am hot in bed and am still wearing my summer jimjams and have not put the extra blankets on the bed.

    This is all very confusing, do men go through menopause or is it all a myth.

    Sounds like you may need TRT (the equivalent of female HRT). Testosterone replacement treatment is well known.

    I know you believe you understand what you think I wrote, but I'm not sure you realize that what you just read is not what I meant.

    GO back to him/her and see if they can put you down...

    In short 'yes'. Go see your doctor and explain everything to them.

    Lots for male conditions have been put down to being a 'wimp'. Don't ignore it, get something done.

    Thing is I have found that my mind is free to think about other things now, like the bevel on a chisel.

    Think she is quite happy, she has to many of her own problems to worry about. This item was on Catalyst recently it covers exactly what Rhonda is going through.

    Yep best get the testosterone level checked out. Its not the issue of missing out on the old slap and tickle, if its too low you will need a dexta scan on your bones (No crude jokes please) to see you are not thinning out. I was lucky, I lifted something heavy and cracked my breast bone so have to take pills to fix the old skeleton.
